    HFT "Recoiling" class

    From now on in HFT comps if we have over 5 shooters using a recoiling gun there will be a trophy for that class.
    Let’s not get into to much debate on this matter as it’s only for a plastic cup not the crown jewels.
    Please remember when you book in at the shoots to state if you are using a recoiling gun as you will have a different colour score card at some venues (this is not because you are freaks
    its because easier to work out the scores at the end)

    Perhaps if this gets popular throughout the series, next year there may be a few places up for grabs but for now it's for just top score.

    An Excellent idea Mr Sparks,it can only encourage more shooters to take up HFT.

    If there is room in the last session and we have plenty of time/spaces then maybe but only your first session score would count.

    I think this will help make HFT even more beginner-friendly, something that FT sort-of attempts to do via its division system (based on a running average of recent scores).

    No doubt there will need to be decisions made for gasrams, springers with opposing pistons and those with recoil absorbing sledges.

    Will SR's qualify for this class?

    I know they're only semi-recoiling but they ARE harder to do HFT with than a PCP is.
